Champagne And Sleeping Pills was the third hit and second single from Eighteen Visions. The song received little to no airplay and is undoubtedly the least successful of all Eighteen Visions hits, but still a more popular song among the Eighteen Visions fan base. The intro and outro from this song is from the 1980 movie The Shining, the intro consists of the line: "Darling? Light of my life. I'm not gonna hurt you, you didn't let me finish my sentence: I said I'm not gonna hurt you, I'm just gonna bash your brains in." The outro consist of the lines: "Don't worry mom, I know all about cannibalism, I saw it all on TV" and "See? It's okay, he saw it on the television," it starts at 5:02 and plays with the same line played twice five seconds apart and gradually gets more synchronized.

[edit] Track Listing

  1. Champagne And Sleeping Pills (6:14)
  2. Champagne And Sleeping Pills (Shortened Radio Version) (4:00)

All though the second track says "(Shortened Radio Version)" it did not receive any (known) airplay. This song was changed by taking away the intro and all the "fucks" in the song with backmasking and muting, at about 3:55 the songs starts to fade out but more vocals can be heard as it is fading, the song also began with fading.
